further and most importantly, the Chinese want and demand food security as they consider milk powder an essential health food item which they cannot satisfy domestically.

Securing a stable and clean/ green milk powder supply from New Zealand is the real agenda and I think you will
see in the future, very favourable treatment when the chinese govt considers new licenses.

remember only the middle class Chinese people buy these milk products and that demographic is still growing exponentially. Also, look for the adult liquid milk and older children/adult milk powders to ramp up sales in China.

The West are still too short term in their decision making. Chinese look 10 years ahead when they make these strategic decisions.
